8 Steps To Becoming ~Artsy~

8 Steps To Becoming ~Artsy~

Grab your worn down plaid shirt, red-rimmed sunglasses and then proceed to take a Polaroid picture in front of your psychedelic tapestry...now my friend, you have officially become ~artsy~.

How to be ~artsy~ in eight easy steps (because 10 would be too basic).

1. Move to Brooklyn.

If you choose to live anywhere but here, the ~artsy~capital of the world, you will never reach the maximum level of ~artsy~. From a swanky café, to endless thrift shops, this is the only move to advance your hipster career.

2. Buy a tapestry.

But not from Urban Outfitters (way too basic). If you have to, travel abroad to get yours, it'll be more authentic.

3. Only wear worn-down shoes.

Birkenstocks and Nike are too common. Try finding a pair in a local trash bin, or simply soak an old pair of shoes in something that will make them look ratty yet chill.

4. Get a piercing.

Piercings on the ears are common, so if you want to get one there, multiply the amount by a multiple of five. Then continue to pierce another part of your body (preferably not something you see the people who peaked in high school get). Some examples may include your eyebrow, tongue, or any other extraneous body part.

5. Make a food blog.

Many people choose to use Instagram to highlight all of their foodie fun. But I think, if you really want to achieve ~artsy~, then you have to use a blog source to truly show the world what you're eating, and then tell them why you're eating it. Do NOT use Tumbr ... its way too common.

6. Cut your hair in a style NEVER seen before.

Everyone loves some layers or bangs or even a half-shaved hairdo but you, my friend, are not everyone. You must find something original and extraordinary or you will fall back to basic.

7. Travel to an exotic country.

Don't bother going to the classic countries everyone travels to abroad. Any undiscovered territory by your friends is totally fair game. While abroad, try keeping a journal instead of using social media. Instas and Facebook pics just make you look like you're trying to make everyone jealous and realize how cool you are...you do not want to be labeled a try hard.

8. Never refer to yourself as ~Artsy~.

Calling yourself ~artsy~ would essentially eliminate any of the work you put into making yourself unlike the rest of the basic humans in this world. When people ask you to define your new look, I would go with a simple, "Thanks for noticing, dude" and call it a day.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
